A heading of 270 is Due West. 360 is North.
So, 300 is North West. 11 PM advisory says movement is 305. That means, Northwest...
It’s a process, changing directing,... takes a little time. Forward motion though is almost stopped... that’s generally an indication that it’s adjusting to a new direction.

A bearing of 300 be West by Northwest.

"North is 360".
Yes, and north is also 0. The storm is moving at 305 degrees where projections showed something more like 340 degrees. The projections have been moving to the west. I don't want this hurricane to hit anyone, but I would like it to take a path more to the west to avoid the population centers that it is forecast to hit.

I watched the visible satellite long loop ant the eye is wobbling so much that I do not know how you can judge direction:
